Give Thanks - Trust God with what you have and what you don't have.

This Month’s Memory Verse:

1 Thessalonians 5:14b-18
encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

This Month’s Virtue:

Gratitude – Being Thankful in all life situations

In week four of our Gratitude series, we continue our lesson on giving thanks. Follow us to the New Testament as Jesus reminds us that we can trust God for everything that we need in our life, including the food we eat, what we drink, to cloth us, and much more.

I can trust God no matter what.

Bottom Line

Give thanks in all circumstances, because God will always meet our needs.

Message to Parents

From Billy Graham: Are you thankful no matter what? Look at the story of a man who had every right to be bitter—but wasn’t.
The next footsteps in the corridor, he knew, might be those of the guards taking him away to his execution. His only bed was the hard, cold stone floor of the dank, cramped prison cell. Not an hour passed when he was free from the constant irritation of the chains and the pain of the iron manacles cutting into his wrists and legs.
Separated from friends, unjustly accused, brutally treated—if ever a person had a right to complain, it was this man, languishing almost forgotten in a harsh Roman prison. But instead of complaints, his lips rang with words of praise and thanksgiving!
The man was the Apostle Paul—a man who had learned the meaning of true thanksgiving, even in the midst of great adversity. Earlier, when he had been imprisoned in Rome, Paul wrote, “Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19-20, NIV).
Think of it: Always giving thanks for everything—no matter the circumstances! Thanksgiving for the Apostle Paul was not a once-a-year celebration, but a daily reality that changed his life and made him a joyful person in every situation.
